Pecan Festival!

by The Flossip on November 19, 2009

in Downtown,Out and About,Pecan Festival,Pee Dee Living

Another Pecan Festival has come and gone, and I think this festival is going to be a long term success! As you know, I think Florence has been woefully lacking in the festival department prior to the Pecan Festival. How can we be a southern town without a festival? Despair no more… we finally can [...]

PECAN FESTIVAL!!!

Do you like my handy little countdown ticker? (look right under the header box) Yes, I really am this excited about the Pecan Festival. I have already told you about the years I spent being jealous of the festivals in other cities. We tried to pretend that May Fly was our festival… but as much [...]
